I'm avoiding going to bed although I shouldn't cause tonight is Sunday. Damn weekends lol. It doesn't help that I only really have one weekend day right now because of block but hey I need the money. Anyway... so yes as the subject says I'm just starting my 33rd week of my pregnancy and things are going good. They are still watching my blood pressure like a hawk because it's been up and down and up and down. I now have to go to two doctor appointments a week because of it. I go to my regular one with my OB each week and then I go to the hospital's antenatal testing facility to check the baby's heart beat. It's a little annoying but I'm glad they are doing it because I don't want to go out of work early and I want this baby to cook a little bit longer lol. I guess now that I'm at 32 weeks I'm out of the danger zone but I want to get to at least 36 weeks so I'm out of the danger danger zone. And I want a damn April baby! LOL. So I have another ultra sound coming up this week, yay, and we are also talking with a pediatrician too. They threw me a baby shower at work and I got a lot of little things here and there. Then Lindsay also gave me a bunch of stuff like a bottle warmer, bottles and a little cradle rocker. So things are coming together. We did buy the baby a coming home outfit from Carters and can I just say OMG that place is awesome! I'm totally going to buy more things there when we actually know what the baby is lol. They have great prices :-) Terri also gave me a bunch of clothes so for being worried about clothes I sure don't have to worry now lol. So now we just have to wait for the big baby shower for a few other things. I can't wait and it's about a month away so lets hope I can hold out that long lol. I've been feeling the baby lot more often too and this little one gets hiccups almost nightly. Sometimes it's annoying but it's good to know moo is doing ok. Sandy still hasn't felt the baby yet but I'm sure he will soon but who knows. Lindsay said even with her having twins Dan didn't feel them till then end either. So all in all everything is going good.
So enough about the baby you'll be hearing a lot about moo in the next few weeks. So what has going on with me? Well 2 weeks ago tonight was the superbowl and we went to Krystina's to watch it with her. Well as we were leaving I slipped on her concrete step and fell right on my butt and landed on my right arm some how. So we ended up rushing to the hospital to make sure the baby was ok. I knew the baby was ok but after something like that they make you come in anyway. So I went up to labor triage and they monitored the baby's heart beat and they said at first that I was going to be up there for 4 hours but I only ended up being there for 2. Baby was fine like I said but I wasn't. My right arm was killing me but we had to wait in the emergency department for 4 hours! I got my xrays done and they ended up telling me I didn't break anything it was just a contusion on the bone. So they gave me a sling and told me not to use it all that much and then told me to take Tylenol for the pain. We didn't end up get out of there till 6 in the morning so needless to say I didn't go to work again which sucks! I need all the time off I can get right now but oh well. So we came home and slept on the couch for a few hours cause I had a dr appointment at 9:30. While we were there Colleen gave me a prescription for vicodin cause she knew the hospital wouldn't have. Well we got to Wegmans and got that filled and I updated Shannon on how things were going. She said to take it easy and she hoped to see me tomorrow at work. Then when all was said an done we got home at about 11:30 and then went to sleep lol. We didn't get up till about 3 and Sandy thought we wouldn't sleep that long. LOL. It was not a fun night and I was more upset that I fell because I had been doing so good up till then. So now my arm is still hurting but it's doing better and hopefully in the next week or so it will be all healed. Everyone said that contusions take a while to heal it's just annoying! Good thing I have drugs or else this pain would be horrible.
So that was the biggest drama from the last few weeks. Other normal things include: we got maternity pictures taken. They turned out great and I was so happy with them. I had my friend Missy from highschool take them and she did a great job. If you want to see them I put them up on my facebook and myspace so check them out there. Then this past week Sandy, Dusty, Tasha and I went to buffalo to see the Portland Pirates play at HSBC arena. That was quite a fun time even if again they lost BUT they lost in a shoot out so it was totally worth it. We got a few things at the Sabres store which was cool but I wish I had a bit more money lol. Then this past week Sandy got me a Wii Fit!!! OMG it was the best valentines day present ever! It was one of those spurr of the moment type things but hell I got it! I'm so freaken happy but the damn thing calls me obese lol. I'm not obese I'm pregnant Hahaha. I can't wait to use it after the baby is born it should be interesting.
Ok now I'm tired so I think I should take advantage of this situation and get to sleep. I hope you enjoyed the update. TTYL!
